Before the tea leaf harvest, many photographers flock to Imamiya, Fuji City (Shizuoka Prefecture) to photograph Mt. Fuji and the Tea Plantation. The nearby Obuchi Sasaba Tea Plantation is another popular attraction.
It's best to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds during this time (around Japan's Golden Week in early May).
A gentle reminder not to enter the plantation or disturb the locals.
